The role of non-invasive respiratory support (high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive
ventilation) in the management of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and acute respiratory …

Mechanical ventilation may have adverse effects on both the lung and the diaphragm. Injury
to the lung is mediated by excessive mechanical stress and strain, whereas the diaphragm …

Mechanical ventilation can cause acute diaphragm atrophy and injury, and this is associated
with poor clinical outcomes. Although the importance and impact of lung-protective …

Abstract Purpose Esophageal pressure (Pes) is a minimally invasive advanced respiratory
monitoring method with the potential to guide management of ventilation support and …

Patients with severe lung injury usually have a high respiratory drive, resulting in intense
inspiratory effort that may even worsen lung damage by several mechanisms gathered …

Purpose This study aimed to assess the prevalence and time course of asynchronies during
mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods Prospective, noninterventional observational study of …

Background Insufficient or excessive respiratory effort during acute hypoxemic respiratory
failure (AHRF) increases the risk of lung and diaphragm injury. We sought to establish …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in avoiding intubation and
improving survival in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF) when …

Delirium is a syndrome characterized by acute brain failure resulting in neurocognitive
disturbances affecting attention, awareness, and cognition. It is highly prevalent among …
